A member asked:
Three months ago i stopped taking accutane. i am now taking a gainer (carnivore mass) which i think is making me break-out. should i stop taking it?

Probably not: Acne caused by dietary changes is largely a myth. The most significant cause of acne is testosterone, which is much, much higher in your teens and early 20's than any other time in your life. If you're breaking out more recently, it may be simply due to weather changes ; the fact that people aren't in the sun as much after summer is over.
